Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2022 17:10:15 +0200 Subject: powerpc/pseries: wire up rng during setup_arch() From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit e561e472a3d441753bd012333b057f48fef1045b upstream. The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call. Fortunately, each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means it's easy to wire this up. This commit also removes some noisy log messages that don't add much.
